I'd steer clear of most RV dealers for repair on a hydraulic cylinder. Many of them believe in the "if it's bad change it out" form of maintenance. You may have a perfectly good hydraulic cylinder with a leaking fitting and they will want to "change out the cylinder rather than do a simple repair. That's just the nature of our "disposable society".
Like bsmith0404 said, you'd be better off removing the cylinder, taking it to a farm/fleet repair facility (like a John Deere dealer or ???). Also, another option would be that in most relatively large towns, there are hydraulic hose/hydraulic fitting shops that build hoses, etc. Most of them specialize in rebuilding hydraulic cylinders. For them, this type of leak is their bread and butter. They repair that kind of stuff every day and know exactly how to do it right without a lot of cost or "swapping parts".
